[QUOTE="a33, post: 1054058, member: 332642"] A receiver in 'satellite signal menu' gives the signal quality of just ONE frequency, that is stored in the receiver as belonging to that satellite. That frequency can be right or wrong for that satellite (frequencies and specs can be changed, and be out-of-date), [B]and also be used by any other satellite.[/B] Thankfully that frequency (normally) in the receiver can also be changed, if you wish. So when looking for a specific satellite: - check that the stored transponder-frequency (and other transponder specs for that frequency) for that satellite is still in use (kingofsat, flysat, lyngsat, etc); - when you get a signal: check what channels you receive; if they indeed belong to the satellite you aim for. But you were right that YOU did not mislabel anything. It was in fact the box that fooled you. But that was because you didn't check the stored frequency, and the received channels. greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
